V shaped lights.huge.noisless.flying very slow

1993 at approximately 8 pm I was working outside on my truck when I looked up into the sky i saw .lights  in a v shape formation.the span of the lights was at least 400 to 500 yards. the lights were evenly spread apart moved very slow and no noise.  I did not see any part of the aircraft.  It blended into the night. what blew me away was the size of this thing.. my opinion I believe this object is man made because the lights look like they came from this earth.  we do have a military base upstate new york and it was coming from that direction south south east.  I do believe that there is life on other planets but I don't think this is it by the way you make a newspaper is the next day small article and that was it
Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.  PD
